Teens Participate in
The Color Run!
Seven teens from the UMOM Teen Activity Program (TAP) got the chance to be a part of THE COLOR RUN last month. Teens spent four hours volunteering their time to assist with registration and t-shirt distribution earlier in the week before taking part in the 5K race (Jan 28). Though the teens and staff all started in white shirts, they definitely did not end in white! Running through different color stations at each kilometer mark, the teens all found themselves completely covered in color by the finish line. It was a fantastic event that none of the participants will soon forget.
